The first full trailer was released Thursday, and it takes us from his early days in New York all the way to his tragic end. The preview reminds us that Shakur (played by Demetrius Shipp Jr.) wasn't just chasing fame; he wanted to use his platform to share his message and he wasn't afraid to do it in unconventional ways.

"You got to enter in somebody's world in order to lead them out," he says at one point.

That's not to say there isn't a dark side, too. The trailer shows Jada Pinkett (Katerina Graham) coming to him with concerns about his actions, not to mention him serving time in prison. In spite of that, there's no denying that Shakur remains a fascinating figure.Shipp and Graham star alongside Lauren Cohan, Hill Harper, Jamal Woolard, Danai Gurira, Jamie Hector, and more.
